Tree Planting

Breathe a little easier…

Green ink®. Save a tree and… Plant a tree

Southeastern Printing’s Green ink® program will not only help you save a tree by offering recycled paper from a sustainable source (no more trees are cut down than grown); it will plant a tree on your behalf.

For every Green ink® job, Southeastern Printing will donate to the Arbor Day Foundation. A tree will be planted on your behalf in Florida’s own backyard.

In 2004 alone, 2.3 million acres of Florida’s forest were lost due to hurricanes and hundreds of thousands more are affected every year by fire and disease.

The number of tree planted through your Green ink® printing can be included on your Environmental Benefits Statement.

Paper production does not lead to deforestation

Deforestation is the permanent clearing of trees for purposes such as creating farmland and pasture land, for commercial and residential development, or for any other use for which trees are cut and not allowed to grow back. Paper companies and others in the forest products industry are actively reforesting. They not only allow trees to grow back, they actually encourage new growth by replanting and caring for new trees, and by creating forest land in areas where it previously did not exist. Unfortunately, deforestation is occurring in many parts of the world, especially in the tropics. This deforestation is mainly due to population pressure. In most of these cases, forests are cut down and burned for domestic fuel (heating homes and cooking) or to clear land for farming.
